NEW DELHI:
The move comes after the Delhi high court on September 27 gave conditional approval to the government to cut food grains supply to those Fixed Price Shops (FPS) where patrons have opted for doorstep delivery of ration, instead of collecting it from the shops.
In a note on the file sent to the LG, Kejriwal said he sincerely hoped that Baijal will review his decision to stop implementation of the doorstep delivery scheme, so that the orders of the high court can be implemented and doorstep delivery of ration can be processed for the beneficiaries opting it. "People are asking if pizza, burger, smartphone and clothes can be home delivered then why cannot the poor citizens of Delhi get their share of ration home delivered," Kejriwal wrote in the note. The chief minister also said that the scheme will help disband the ration mafia in the capital.
The LG office did not comment on the matter.
Taking note of the government's submission that "an overwhelming majority has opted for supply of rations at their doorstep", a high court bench of justices Vipin Sanghi and Jasmeet Singh said that authorities could supply only such quantities of ration to FPS that are required for those who want to collect it from shops, while the rest can be held back by the government for door-to-door delivery.
